In Firefox 7.0.1, Mac OSX 10.6.8.

I accidentally deleted some security certificates. I can get a temporary certificate OK in Certificate Manager, and Confirm Security Exception then works, but the 'Permanently store this exception' box remains greyed out, so I have to go through the procedure every time.
